Getting started on ALS might be a little confusing. Hopefully this can help you out!
Step 1: Get familiar with the board.
You're going to want to read all of the threads inside of the Information board as well as check out the Upgrades and Artes section. Reading some of the Lore isn't a must but it might help you figure out a little bit of understanding about what you want to do.
Step 2: Create your character.
Once you're all done with that, you're gonna want to start your character! You should know a little bit about the Alliances and the world at this point to figure out what you want to do. This part should be fairly easy considering you do it on every RP. Just make sure to figure out which Path you wanna take.
Step 3: Create your first mech
Creating your first mech can be extremely hard for people who are unfamiliar with them. Our advice is to do a little research, read wikis for popular series like Gundam and Armored Core and the like. If you're really unsure of what you can do, you can ask around about mechs in the cbox or harass Soran to help you make one! (He won't mind.)
Step 4: Corporations
Corporations are essentially factions or guilds that you can create. Corporations require their own profiles, just like characters. You have to keep track of your Influence for Corporations just like how you have to track EXP and such.
Step 5: Conquest
Here's where stuff gets fun. In the CONQUEST board is where you undertake missions. Missions are accepted in the Missions Board, an explanation of Missions can be found there. Conquest follows a chronological order (check out the Chronology System thread as well as the "Current Time" on the sidebar.). The date and time as mentioned in the Chronology thread will always be posted at the top of every Conquest thread. Anybody can make a Conquest thread by going into a continent, and then a region, and then creating a thread with the name of an area appropriate to that region.
For example, if you wanted to make a Conquest thread in Philly, you would go into Old North America>North East Region and then create a thread by the name of "PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA" and then put the date (Current Time on the sidebar) and time that you'd like to use for that thread. You cannot be in multiple Conquests of the same date unless they're at different times. You can only make one Conquest thread per month but you're allowed to join any thread as long as it doesn't violate the previous rule. However, you can have your character physically leave a Conquest thread to go to another that takes place on the same day.
Conquests are where you will be completing missions and engaging in combat with other players and earning GMP and Influence for yourself and the corporation you are contracted by respectively.
